Show THE "ZEtLA" MINE. Salt Lake City, April 10, 1873. ' Editors Herald : In the "Poe-Wco" of last evening appeared a letter from Jacobs oity purporting to desoribo tho mines of Ophir district, and of Dry Canyon. It was signed by one A. VV. Adams. Is not this Adams the samo frowsy fellow, who, under the name of "Ching-foo" "Ching-foo" itinerated from Little Cottonwood to nearly all the mining districts in the Territory, and from all of them, inflicted in-flicted through the Tribune mostly, sometimes through the Journal, on such aa read them, thoso weakly columns col-umns of verbose, ungrammatical abuse of every mine whose manager would not fee or dine him, and of every hotel that would not feed or dime him ? Is he not the same fellow who roped the Tribune into an expense of at least $50, for setting up his many thousands of "ems" on the Election Laws cf Utah, when your "Farewell" tilted his ignorance, both of his subject and his grammar? If ho is this same imitation imita-tion of a Bohemian, then ho is the same ill-bred, as well as ill-read . person who endeavored to gain admittance into the Zella mine, by overawing the superintendent with his Chinese namo, and his dignity (7) as correspondent of the Tribune. He failed in his purpose, but very nearly secured in his endeavors endeav-ors a sound thrashing for his impertinence. imper-tinence. This accounts for his abuse of the Zella, in his effusion of the 9th, and for his abuse of all the other really valuable property of its owners, the Walker Brothers; and his abuse of them explains why the "Pee-Wee" devotes a column and a half to his letter; for it always makes room for anything scurrilous or abusive of its betters. It is a sbame and disgrace to respectable journalism, that a newspaper news-paper should be found and exibt upon the support and patronage of your citizens, when it makes itself at all times the receptacle of any malice or spite that any itinerant, worthless scribbler may want to pour out on them.
